We're not mentioning that we're replicating QEMU behavior on purpose.
First because QEMU will one day, maybe, change the behavior and
start to refuse incomplete NUMA setups, and then our documentation
is now deprecated. Second, auto filling the CPUs in the first
cell will work regardless of QEMU changes in the future.
The idea is to encourage the user to provide a complete NUMA CPU topology,
not relying on the CPU auto fill mechanic.

Libvirt allows the user to define an incomplete NUMA topology, where
the sum of all CPUs in each cell is less than the total of VCPUs.
What ends up happening is that QEMU allocates the non-enumerated CPUs
in the first NUMA node. This behavior is being flagged as 'to be
deprecated' at least since QEMU commit ec78f8114bc4 ("numa: use
possible_cpus for not mapped CPUs check").
In [1], Maxiwell suggested that we forbid the user to define such
topologies. In his review [2], Peter Krempa pointed out that we can't
break existing guests, and suggested that Libvirt should emulate the
QEMU behavior of putting the remaining vCPUs in the first NUMA node
in these cases.
This patch implements Peter Krempa's suggestion. Since we're going
to most likely end up with disjointed NUMA configuration in node 0
after the auto-fill, we're making auto-fill dependent on QEMU_CAPS_NUMA.
A following patch will update the documentation not just to inform
about the auto-fill mechanic with incomplete NUMA topologies, but also
to discourage the user to create such topologies in the future. This
approach also makes Libvirt independent of whether QEMU changes
its current behavior since we're either auto-filling the CPUs in
node 0 or the user (hopefully) is aware that incomplete topologies,
although supported in Libvirt, are to be avoided.

This function handles the change of NUMA nodeset for a given
guest, setting CpusetMems for the emulator, vcpus and IOThread
sub-groups. It doesn't set the same nodeset to the root cgroup
though. This means that cpuset.mems of the root cgroup ends up
holding the new nodeset and the old nodeset as well. For
a guest with placement=strict, nodeset='0', doing
virsh numatune <vm> 0 8 --live
Will make cpuset.mems of emulator, vcpus and iothread to be
"8", but cpuset.mems of the root cgroup will be "0,8".
This means that any new tasks that ends up landing in the
root cgroup, aside from the emulator/vcpus/iothread sub-groups,
will be split between the old nodeset and the new nodeset,
which is not what we want.

On Linux, changing the nodeset on 'numatune' does not imply that
the guest memory will be migrated on the spot to the new nodeset.
The memory migration is tied on guest usage of the memory pages,
and an idle guest will take longer to have its memory migrated
to the new nodeset.
This is a behavior explained in detail in the Linux kernel
documentation in Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cpusets.rst.
The user doesn't need this level of detail though - just needs
his/her expectations under check. Running 'numastat' and hoping
for instant memory migration from the previous nodeset to the new
one is not viable.
There's also parts of the memory that are locked by QEMU in the
same place, e.g. when VFIO devices are present. Let's also
mention it as another factor that impacts the results the
user might expect from NUMA memory migration with numatune.

For s390 the verification consists of:

facility is available and the host OS supports it;
- checking if the kernel cmdline contains 'prot_virt=1': meaning
the host OS wants to use the feature.
Whenever the availability of the feature does not match the secure
guest flag in the cache then libvirt will re-build it in order to
pick up the new set of capabilities available.

In v6.4.0-rc1~143 I've introduced a check that is supposed to
return from the function early, if given path is not a dm target.
While the idea is still valid, the implementation had a flaw.
It calls stat() over given path and the uses major(sb.st_dev) to
learn the major of the device. This is then passed to
dm_is_dm_major() which returns true or false depending whether
the device is under devmapper's control or not.
The problem with this approach is in how the major of the device
is obtained - paths managed by devmapper are special files and
thus we want to be using st_rdev instead of st_dev to obtain the
major number. Well, that's what virIsDevMapperDevice() does
already so might as well us that.
